I removed the translucency statement, and the distortion of the stars
disappeared... with enhanced scattering color (I used a multiplier
factor of 10!), the media, i. e. the gradiented fringe along the
horizon, also
retained its brightness... but, whether I use your proposed amount of
absorption
or no absorption at all, now the Earth's surface appears in dull
twilight,
just as if the sun still was below the horizon (which is not, in fact,
it's about

future
versions I will rotate Earth a bit back, so that the sun actually can be
seen
(using a customized lensflare effect) slightly above the horizon).

Just increasing the sun's brightness only resulted in an "overexposure"
of the media, but not in a lit surface with realistic contrast... how to
fix
that?

See you in Khyberspace!
